There's some line where providing an alternative accommodation is better value for everyone involved.
Eg: if the Green line cost $1B without accessibility and $20B with accessibility then you should build it without and use the money to run a parallel handi-bus system that's free and goes everywhere in perpetuity.
Now, I'm not saying that's the price difference (I doubt it would be that high) but if the disabled can get better service in a cheaper way that doesn't seem like discrimination to me.
